Dolby Pro Logic IIx
*4
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel
playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience
that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games
can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging.
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be
used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
• Dolby PLIIx Movie
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g.,
TV, DVD, VHS).
• Dolby PLIIx Music
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) music source
(e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).
• Dolby PLIIx Game
Use this mode with video games, especially those that bear the Dolby Pro
Logic II logo.
• Dolby PLIIx Movie
• Dolby PLIIx Music
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes to expand 5.1-channel
sources for 7.1-channel playback.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz
Height
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to more effectively use existing
program material when height channel speaker outputs are present. Dolby
Pro Logic IIz Height can be used to upmix a variety of sources from movies
and music, but are particularly well-suited to upmix game content.
Dolby EX
These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.
They’re especially suited to Dolby EX soundtracks that include a matrix-
encoded surround back channel. The additional channel adds an extra
dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect
for rotating and fly-by sound effects.
Dolby Digital
In this mode, audio from the input source is output without surround-sound
processing. The speaker configuration (presence of speakers), crossover
frequency, speaker distance, A/V Sync and much of the processing set via
Home menu are enabled. See “Advanced Setup” for more details
(
page 43).

DTS 96/24
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS
with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior
fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.
DTS-ES Discrete
*7
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a
discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven
totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-
degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround
channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with
a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.
DTS-ES Matrix
*7
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-
encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that
bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.
